Added some One on One flavors to my arsenal,
Pie Crust
Powdered Sugar
Cream (Milky Undertone)(PG) - was hoping to find (R) as I figure it would be spicier, (NC-17) would probably be too much!
Vanilla Variety Pack - mainly for Vanilla Custard Cheesecake, though the rest sound nice. Got VIC blend (I) and (II) - no (III) for me :(
"Standard" Variety Pack - mainly for Corn Bread and Golden Sponge Cake

Still have a ways to go to hit my "all of them" hard flavor cap.
You bought some really good flavors. Looking forward to seeing what you come up with! :) <--- that smiley, :lol: :lol: :lol:

    Somewhere between here and there
    So, I'm back in the city again, still bouncin' back and forth between here and up north. It's all good, I've always been a nomad.

    Last night I went to bed at 12am sharp, fell asleep quickly. I woke up at 2:15am, wide awake and raring to go. Something told me to go through more of my wife's things.

    Ohhhh man!!! I came across a smallish wrapped box with a label "My Dearest Husband". I did what any kid would do. I shook the box lightly, didn't hear anything. Set it aside for a bit and just looked at it.

    Something kept telling me, "open it you dumb azz". I did and I was not at all prepared for what I found.

    Inside are many notes and love letters she wrote, a music CD she mixed and a cassette of her telling me all sorts of things. And instructions!!! Yes, instructions. She told me to pop the CD in and only read one letter per song and only one song+letter per week. Ok.

    I popped the music CD in the player grabbed the letter marked #1 and hit play.

    Out comes one of our favorite songs by Richie Sambora called Falling From Graceland. The lyrics, whew, I mean, seriously.


    Oh crap! Well, that and her first letter had tears flowing. LOTS!!! Tears of Joy and tears of sadness. I never knew I could feel both emotions at the very same time accompanied by a warm tingly feeling all over my body. She told me "SMT you will need to be stronger than ever as my time here is short" along with much much more. And dang, I swore at 3am I could hear her voice speaking each word in my mind as I read this letter a few times while replaying that song.

    Who knew? The woman is still looking after me four years on. I mean, frankly I'm at a loss for words and I don't know that words alone could convey the feeling.

    Anyhow, I am very happy I found this wrapped box and its awesome contents. I am very much looking forward to whatever surprises she has in store for me next. She even wrote a couple notes for our other longtime lifelong amigo in life, my lady up north, and one for each daughter. I am amazed but shouldn't be cuz that's the kind of Woman she was.

    I'm sure she meant for me to find this box much sooner but honestly it is better this way. Time and Distance = the Wider Perspective. Those who know, know exactly what I'm saying with that.

    I mean, dang, what a Gift!!! I truly am blessed in Life, no doubt. :wub: :wub: :wub:

    That’s amazing! What a wonderful thing to find after all that time.

    I don’t have fresh pineapple. I have golden, funky, and sugarloaf. Do you think one of those would work?
    I would go with sugarloaf but would start that at 1%.

    IMHO, VT Sugarloaf Pineapple is stronger versus CAP Fresh Pineapple.

    Did you see my other post? I don’t have the pineapple you listed. I wonder what would be best out of what I have?
    I'm getting there, still on the last page. :lol:

    I just tried doing a spoiler in the message I replied to @gloopdegurp but the spoiler part came out all jumbled on my screen. I deleted that part.

    Something for me to report in the appropriate thread.

    Oh well, we will get there. :w00t:

    ETA: It works as it is supposed to. See my post below (#150,029) for a couple examples. What I thought was jumbled text being displayed is how an Inline Spoiler works. Duh !!!

    Yep, only missing a few... thousand or so.
    Keepin' it real... I came across someone on ELR about a week ago, don't recall who, who has just over 1600 flavors!!! Yep.

    We all have some catching up to do, except @hittman. He's closer to the 1000 Flavor Club than I am and has a vape gear stash that would rival any boutique vape store. :pervy: :lol:

    I’m still under 800. It’s become an addiction. That and every time I turn around there are new flavors. However, my flavor orders have become few and further between. I plead the 5th on the hardware.

    I wasn't understanding what an Inline Spoiler does. I retested this in the appropriate thread and discovered for myself how it works !!!

    Here are two, see if you can figure it out. Y'all probably will right away, I'm a sloooow learner, but once I learn sumpthin' I got it !!!

    Yep, they look like Garbage don't they? Hint, hint... until You do something interactively. I made the 1st one easy !!! And no, you don't need a better prescription for your eyeglasses. :lol:

    I haven't ordered any flavors since BCF's July 4th sale. And that was for some restocks and a few new flavors.

    And... I ordered two 10ml flavors I already had. Funny, I've done that before, more than once. :lol: Oh well, backups for the flavors !!! :w00t:

    Oh, thank you again for helping me with my Birdsnest Maestro mix, finally have my first attempt underway!
    Not sure if I'll be able to remember it well enough to know if I'm even in the ballpark though.
    Whatever it ends up being, it smells pretty good right now.

    I just ordered a couple one shots and a couple flavors while nomnomz was having a sale. That’s my first order in a couple months I think.

    Oh I wasn't really any help. You would have mixed something that got you there. I know you would have !!!

    FWIW, I saved all the posts from May 21st in a text file from our back and forth on the Birdsnest Maestro mix so I could work up something similar. It sounded like a good mix to me then and still does today. I haven't gotten around to it yet though, but I will, hopefully soon, this week maybe I'll have a first go.

    ETA: Partial from a reviewers notes: "Maestro, simply the best coffee vape I have ever tasted, without a doubt!! The coffee tastes like a medium type roast to me, and mixes together with the vanilla and hazelnuts perfectly!"

    Oh yeah, I forgot to add. You'll know, your brain and sense of taste will know and remember. Trust your gut !!! The first vape tells a story.

    Did you try any after mixing it??? So you know how it develops over time???

    No, I still haven't tried any of my mixes until steeped a while.
    It's only about a week in right now so, a little late, but I could give it a taste.

    Yeah, I've been going back and forth toying with the idea of trying some of the VSO flavors. Seems like everyone who mixes using them are very impressed. Many of his flavors receive high marks and very high praise from some well known, and many not so well known, mixers on ELR and ATF.

    Reading how the VSO guy creates and manufactures flavors absolutely has my interest. IIRC his fruits are all 100% natural from the actual fruit. His vanilla(s) are from actual high quality vanilla beans.

    I really didn't want to add another flavor line ...but... I likely will.

    I once put a drop of real watermelon juice on my coil and vaped it.
    Noooo...it tasted like a dirty old garbage can smells !!
    That was a baaaaad idea !
